Review: LOVE my little drill! - I have been using a very heavy porter cable drill, with 14v battery, for years until the last battery finally died. If you know anything about battery operated tools you know a new battery usually costs more than a new tool. When I started looking for a new drill it had to meet a few criteria: 1) It had to be lightweight. I’m tired of having my hands twisted off at the wrist. 2) It had to have two batteries. No waiting for a battery to charge and an included battery is cheaper than buying a separate battery. 3) It had to be Bosch. I learned long ago “You buy a good tool once. You buy a cheap tool twice.” I own a few Dewalt and Porter Cable tools but Bosch has always been my favorite when I could afford it. The DDB181-02 is perfect for my use. I can’t believe how light-weight it is! I don’t have to hold it with both hands to keep it from getting away from me. The rubber-coated grip fits my wimpy little hand easily. I can remove and replace the battery without help. It is compatible with all 18v Bosch Lithium batteries. The two-speed transmission is easy to operate. Attaching the bits is a snap. One double-ended Phillips bit included. There is an LED work light. How cool is that? You get the BC660 charging battery pack. It has one light; blinking for fast charging, steady for charged. The soft-sided case is fine for my use. It has a Velcro strap to hold the drill and a mesh pouch to hold instructions etc. There is a belt clip included which can be attached on either side of the drill, for right or left hand. Bosch makes an almost identical model,DDB182-02 I think, which is brush- less but I think that might be over-kill for a DIY’r. Made in Malaysia. One year warranty.
Review: Great value, but a few things you should know. - Initial impressions. Will update later as required. I have owned a Bosch 18 volt drill/driver for a few years. It has been awesome. I also have a Bosch 18 volt, handheld vacuum, and a reciprocating saw. Figured I needed some more batteries. A fat pack would have been nice, but this was too good to pass up. Two more slim packs, another drill/driver and charger, essentially; for free. I had asked the question of the people; "have they improved the chuck?" The chuck is not great on the older one. The response was, paraphrasing: "seems fine to me". It would appear to me as well, that the chuck is MUCH improved. This is a great drill. Not sure why everyone doesn't do this, but having the light down on the base works great! No shadows as others have pointed out. Seriously, others... a light on the body behind the chuck is useless. A few observations though. This is even more compact than the older version. I don't have the specs on the old one, but if will be interesting to see if as powerful (the old one is a beast, given the size). The motor is much smaller. Second, the two batteries are 1.5 amp, with no fuel gauge. They have no label that my old eyes can read, maybe 611's? My old one also has 1.5 amp BAT610Gs, with fuel gauge. I think the more expensive, newer versions come with 2.0 amp batteries. Still a good deal. But know what you're getting. Pic is of the old (left) next to the new.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is an EXCELLENT Drill at an EXCELLENT Price.
*by P***Y on December 11, 2017*

Used this around the home for a year including re-decking my 16x20 foot deck. Run about 1200 2.75 inch decking screws into 5/4x6 inch decking boards. Had enough torque and power to run the screws straight thru and out the other end if I wanted. The batteries held a charge for what I feel was a good while. Not sue how many screws I got per charge but I never thought I was short changed when it was time to swap batteries. The batteries hold a full charge with plenty of power up to the very end. They start to show signs of needing recharged at about the last 6 screws. My neighbor saw it in action and was impressed at the price and power that he said he was going to order one.
